From: Manager of the Maintenance Service Section Date: September 17th RE: New Telephone System
Our new telephone system will be installed over the coming weekend and will be operational Monday morning with the new system.
Each staff member will continue to have individual voice mail, allowing callers to leave voice messages for you when you are not available to take a call. Calls can still be routed to the main switchboard if you prefer to continue to have one of the operators take messages for you. In addition, every telephone including the ones in the conference rooms will be set up for conference calls and for long distance calls. You will need to use your employee code to make long distance calls. If necessary, operators can arrange conference calls for you, if given at least thirty minutes' notice.
There will be a twenty-minute introduction to the system offered in Conference Room 3 on Monday at 10:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M., and 1:30 RM. Please plan to attend one of these sessions so that you will be able to fully utilize the features of our new phone system.

I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and -- poof! -- I became invisible, absent from the conversation.
The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing other people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pet their puppies. Evidently, the untethered electronic voice is preferable to human contact.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver shushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends zooming down the highway, unable to talk to one another because of a gadget designed to make communication easier.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel？ Every advance in communications technology is a setback to the intimacy of human interaction. With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every conceivable contact between human beings gets automated, the alienation index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
Pumping gas at the station？ Why say good-morning to the attendant when you can swipe your credit card at the pump and save yourself the both.
Making a deposit at the bank？ Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into the ATM？
Pretty soon you won't have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery store. Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those annoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing.
I am no Luddite. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mall system, an e-mail account. Giving them up isn't an option -- they're great for what they're intended to do. It's their unintended consequences that make me cringe.
More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mall to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier -- or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.
So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell-phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mall pick up when I'm home.
What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there's no one in the room to hear you exclaim, "Gee whiz？"
Saying "the unuttered electronic voice is preferable to human contact", the author is ______.
A．telling the truth
B．expressing his opinion
C．being sarcastic
D．describing a problem
to one another.

The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones ― all – purpose gadgets(小玩意儿)that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one.
Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register(注册)their cell phone numbers.
The fans could pass music or songs along to friends― a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of Yourmobile, based in Santa Monic, California.
“If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It’s like going through a toll gate(收费站). There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”
Massachusetts – Based Converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.
“A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it to a radio,” said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a phone while you’re on vacation, you appreciate the feedling.”

A.send
B.become
C.mix
D.compare

A.an email
B.a whisper
C.a smile
D.a voice mail
